Flexus: Trumpet Calisthenics for the Modern Improvisor

by Laurie Frink, John McNeil

FLEXUS contains a wide range of technique and endurance-building exercises that address all of the fundamental elements necessary to play the trumpet freely and easily. It is designed to help improvisors in all musical idioms—jazz, classical and any others. FLEXUS synthesizes the teaching techniques of Laurie Frink, John McNeil and Carmine Caruso, and represents an evolution in trumpet practice that combines time-honored exercises with new and unique concepts to create a technical approach for the 21st century.

MP3 tracks of the exercises (originally released on CD) are available at www.lauriefrink.com/flexus
